What does calorie (th)/hour measure?

Calorie (th)/hour measures the rate of heat transfer equal to one thermochemical calorie delivered per hour, quantifying thermal power.

What is a ton (refrigeration)?

A ton (refrigeration) is a unit of power representing the cooling rate needed to melt one short ton of ice over 24 hours, commonly used to rate HVAC and refrigeration equipment.

Why convert from calorie (th)/hour to ton (refrigeration)?

Conversion helps translate small-scale heat transfer data from laboratory or device measurements into cooling capacity units used in HVAC and refrigeration design.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms values measured in calorie (th)/hour, a unit of thermal power, into ton (refrigeration), a unit commonly used to express cooling capacity in HVAC and refrigeration systems. It facilitates the comparison between small-scale heat transfer and larger-scale cooling rates.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in calorie (th)/hour you want to convert
Select calorie (th)/hour as the original unit and ton (refrigeration) as the target unit
Click convert to get the equivalent cooling capacity in ton (refrigeration)

Key Features

Converts calorie (th)/hour to ton (refrigeration) based on defined standards
Browser-based and simple to operate
Useful for HVAC, refrigeration, and laboratory calorimetry applications
Supports translation of thermal power units across different measurement scales

Examples

10,000 cal (th)/h converts to approximately 0.0033 ton (refrigeration)
1,000,000 cal (th)/h converts to about 0.33 ton (refrigeration)

Common Use Cases

Reporting small heat-transfer rates in laboratory calorimetry experiments
Expressing metabolic or physiological heat production in thermal power units
Sizing and specifying HVAC and refrigeration equipment cooling capacity
Performing building energy management and HVAC load calculations

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure consistent unit use to avoid conversion errors
Use scientific notation when handling very small conversion values
Cross-check conversions when integrating device-level data with HVAC system ratings

Limitations

Calorie (th)/hour measures extremely small power rates compared to tons of refrigeration
Converted values can be very small fractions requiring careful numerical handling
Accuracy depends on precise heat transfer definitions and consistent use of units
